A quick update on the Doll’s House craft shenanigans! You may remember from the image below, that the “attic rooms” didn’t not have a back wall. The result has been, that the kids constantly knock things down to the back of the doll’s house and the rooms didn’t get used much.
So today, we got crafty, cut out some triangular walls for the doll’s house, then stuck some flowers on from a catalogue and sealed it all with Mod Podge. Hooray for a bit of decoupage. The colour scheme was 100% decided by the kids!
I think the rooms look very pretty in “purple” and “orange”.
Now we just need some extra beds (Grandpa hasn’t got one) and some sofa’s!
I love how, every time we do something to the house, the children have a really good playing session – almost like re-invigorating an old toy again and again!

April 14, 2012 at 5:21 pmThis is so cute! I love the color scheme they chose. If I were a doll, I would totally call \”dibs\” on that red and yellow room. 🙂

May 7, 2012 at 2:49 pmNo not LEGO – but I like your thinking!!! I Bet we could make some great things with LEGO for the doll’s house!!
Nic's Barefoot Books says
May 7, 2012 at 3:54 pmYes you could! I was a lego fan as a kid and they had some really cool house bits and bobs similar to your wee kitchen there. I’ve noticed some house type lego coming back into shops, hopefully it’s making a come back!
